Le Castellet International Airport - Le Castellet, France

Philippe Gurdjian also managed the renovation of the old Le Castellet Airfield. He has created a unique airport dedicated to private planes and currently regarded highly by airport management agencies for its logistic, its engineering and the quality of its architecture. With the addition of a control tower, a passenger terminal and other technical facilities, the Castellet International Airport, welcoming now business jets ranging from Falcon 10 to Boeing 737 aircraft, has become, some 40 years after its initial construction by Paul Ricard in 1962, the most important private airport in the region open 24 hours, with hangars and a permanent customs. With its ability to cater for international air traffic from business and top of the range leisure markets, it will become unquestionably a major force in the economic development of the Provence Côte d'Azur region.
